Yes, Bob & Paul. The last one was taken on the return trip in the afternoon, hence the back lighting. They were resting after drinking at the Tsendze river. There were scenes like that for about ½ km up to 50m deep in the bush. The herd consists of mature cows & juveniles. The breeding males only move in for that purpose. There were actually two huge herds of Buffalo & a slightly smaller herd of Wildebeest. Being ruminants like cattle they can eat any grasses, even dry stuff. Very strong, dangerous animals - an adult can toss a Lion.

My favorite would be the last one - 81296.  It looks like you've gained the attention of all of them.

A few shots of Buffalos we encountered last Thursday. It is impossible to capture a herd of 500+ Buffalos but perhaps these images give some idea. It takes about half an hour for such a large herd to cross the road.
